I just took them all to the vet for tails and dews - the little one's temp was low - so i opted to NOT do his now. He has doubled in weight as have the others, so proportionately he has gained the same, and he has a lot of energy and strength. The doc checked him and he has no cleft pallet - she seemed concerned about his low temp and asked me to up the whelp box to 90-95, and take the other pups out every 3 hours and have him nurse for 20 minutes alone. I am trying to look on the bright side - he IS gaining, he IS feisty… just worried
she said if he is doing really well, she can dock him for up to two more days.
